I have created a custom save function that works as expected in IE. However, 
it breaks in Netscape 7.1 PC

Perhaps someone can tell me what the source of the problem in Moz is:

function x8doSave(){
	send_to_html(); // this preps the code reeeeeaaal nice
	document.getElementById('myform').submit(); // works in IE only
}


By the way, here is the form tag and the iframe that serves as the target 
for the server transfer.

<form id="myform" name="wysiwygproForm" method="post" action="save.asp" 
target="x8iframe" onSubmit="submit_form()">

<!-- THIS FRAME IS USED TO TRANSPORT DATA TO THE SERVER WITHOUT POPUPS -->
<iframe name="x8iframe" src="" frameborder="0" 
style="position:absolute;top:0;left:0;visibility:hidden;z-index:997;border-top:1px 
solid #999;margin:0 1px 1px 1px;padding:0;"></iframe>
